Around 68% of adults in America are overweight or obese and the prevalence is rising. Obesity is a major contributor to numerous health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, back pain, and low self-esteem.

It has major impact on the health, wellbeing, and happiness of men and women across the States, and it can have a major impact on their employers too. The costs associated with obesity-related absenteeism from work total $4.3 billion annually in the United States**, so it’s never been more important for the workplace to promote, enable, and support healthier lifestyles.

‟As we researched weight loss groups to enhance our corporate Wellness Program, we were surprised by how few offered the flexibility we were seeking for our employees. The initial requirements were basic… no pre-packaged meals or shakes, no complicated counting systems, and no pills. Our goal was to empower employees to make healthier choices while positively influencing their families and friends to do the same. Members have been very pleased with their personal results and the ease of the plan… and their co-workers are taking notice! We’re excited about the difference our partnership with Slimming World is making in the lives of our employees.”
